Smögens Hafvsbad

Smögens Hafvsbad

8/10 Good
"The main building was lovely with classic old-world charm. Breakfast was really nice with wonderful views from the sitting areas. We stayed in the Annex, which was just ok—the rooms were small and felt a bit tired compared to the photo. The Annex doesn't quite match the charm of the main building, so I'd recommend booking a room in Main building to get the best experience."
